William “Bill” Haupricht
1951 - 2020
SUTTONS
BAY – William R. Haupricht, 68, of Suttons Bay, passed away Thursday, March 19,
2020 at the Munson Hospice House with his family at his side.
Bill
was born to Raymond W. Haupricht and Helen Jane (McCutchan) Haupricht. He had an easy going, original and
irresistible charm, with a great sense of humor and always had a good story to
tell. It was hard not to love him.
He
graduated from the University of Toledo and worked for Johns Manville in Sales
and Marketing for 30 years. Bill
finished his career in the fly-fishing department at Bass Pro Shop. He loved fishing, woodworking, and his
family.
You
want to talk sports; he was your man.
Professional auto racing, Big Ten and Notre Dame being his
favorites. And if you want to talk
politics – you’d better be Republican!
Bill
was also a long time member of the Elks and was a true Rotarian; being
president of the Maumee Rotary and assistant to two district governors in N.W.
Ohio. He was proud and happy to have
achieved his goal to move to Northern Michigan.
Bill
is survived by his wife, Beth (Shuman-Kuebler) who will miss him daily and
forever; his siblings, Julie (Joe) Ziegler and their children Matthew and Allison
and Gary (Nancy) Haupricht and their son Jason.
A
celebration of his life (we all have our own Billy stories), being scheduled
later in the year, with hopes of an early autumn.
Please share condolences
and memories with Bill’s family below:

ReplyDeleteI am deeply saddened by the news of Bill's passing. I have a lot of great memories of trading war stories with Bill about buying and selling at JM. I learned so much from him in those years and also enjoyed ND vs UM rivalry talks. My deepest sympathy to you and his family. I pray memories from better days comfort you now and in the days to come.

Beth & family, Bill will be missed. Bill, you and I worked many years together in J-M and Rotary District 6600. He is someone you enjoyed calling friend, someone to be with and could count on in life.

ReplyDeleteObituary Message: My Dear Beth - Even though I have lost loved ones, I don't pretend to understand the loss and loneliness you are feeling right now. I will always remember his smile, his way of telling stories and sharing his adventures. I am grateful to have had his friendship and to know the two of you together for so many years. - Love, Jamie Laurie

Hello Beth, I just found out about Bill passing away this afternoon. I was talking to Barney and he had heard. I'm so sorry. Bill was such a joy and so full of life. I will never forget when Bill and I visited you when you lived in Maumee and Bill had the set up with bleachers for his sporting events, mostly his Notre Dame football team. I loved that! He certainly had a passion for everything he did, but mostly his love of you. My deepest sympathy to you. Ruth Potter (Smith)
